I speak from first person experience. I grew up in one of those seedy rural trailer parks living in a two bedroom 1971 Marlette 12 x 63. (search mapquest for Chinook Lane Altmar, NY and Otto’s Trailer Park, Scriba, NY. Right next to the Scriba Town Inn). Froze my ass off in the winter, and sweated by balls off in the summer. I managed to escape through hard work in a crappy school and twelve years in the silent service of the U.S. Navy.

Very few of those I left behind, ever amounted to anything. Most are still the bar rats that they have always been. Working odd jobs, at whatever business that might be willing to hire them.

I do hate manufactured housing and the denizens of same. I hate Hambuger Helper, Mac & Cheese, and Shake-n-Bake too. When you eat enough of it as I have, one vows, never again.

With a family history of poverty induced by poor choices and destructive behavior one can see the forest and the trees.

There are far more lowlife rural whites than there are baby-momma’s in the cities.

As I pointed out, there is welfare as direct payment and there is welfare via tax credits and other programs that are not considered direct transfer payments but they are transfer payments just the same.

Obviously you have never lived in multiple trailer parks as I have. Live on lousy food, and at the whim of mom’s boyfriend. I have, and it’s not pleasant.

Wow, that had nothing to do with your making up false facts and trying to spread them.

“”70% of welfare is given to rural whites....the very ones who populate many of those seedy trailer parking lots.””

You can’t just make up stupid nonsense and try to pass them off as statistical data and facts.

The thing about rural whites is there are far fewer of them, because they are, well, rural. The vast majority of whites live in the suburbs. There are tens of millions more of them than rural whites.

Maybe your experiences suggest that 70 percent of rural whites are on some form of assistance. Even then, I’d like to see the actual numbers.
